This lazy panda forgot to write something about itself.

It's only a story for me because I don't remember any of it. But years ago I had episodes of sleep terrors. My family told me that sometimes I screamed so loud that I woke up the neighbors.
Well one day I woke up to my boyfriend at the time screaming at me to wake up while rustling me to the ground. The balcony doors were open and I was halfway out. After we both calmed down a bit he started crying.
From his point of view it was something straight out of a horror movie. He got jolted awake by me jumping up on my feet, silent with a blank expression on my face. Then I started panting. And then I screamed like a banshee. I bolted for the balcony door, opened them and put my leg over the railing, all while still screaming. He cought me in the last second. In his words he never heard anything like this before and hopes he never will again.
It took me years after that to build up courage for living on my own. I'm terrified that one day I will wake up on my way to the ground.

I was 16 at the time and I had barely just got my license. I had a friend in school, a girl who most considered "boy crazy" but to my disappointment she wasn't interested in me. Typical popular good looking girl who was into jocks and I was the nerdiest kid in the class but we were very close and she would tell me all her struggles and then delete the messages. Mostly because the guys she liked were very possessive.
In the dead of night in the winter I got a call from her. This was very unusual. Mostly the calling but also it was a school night and it was very late. She was speaking in a hushed shaking voice and asked me to come pick her up, I knew something was wrong but she had to hang up after giving me the address. This was before gps and I barely knew how to get to school but I printed out a MapQuest route to her boyfriend's house in a different city. She asked me to bring her clothes, specifically shirt underwear and some sweats. I pushed my car out of the driveway and coasted until I was sure my parents couldn't hear it. I got to the house and she came out obviously trying to make as little noise as possible.
She was naked. Makeup smeared from crying. Hair matted.
She got in the car told me to take off and she put the clothes on. I asked her what happened and all she could say without breaking down is she went to her bfs birthday party and woke up like this with no memory. She woke up in the middle of the room with all his friends and him also naked.
I took her home and snuck back into the house 2 hours before I had to get up for school. We never spoke of it again. I didn't think much of it then but 17 years later I have my own kids and a daughter who's the light of my world and I can't tell this story without crying.
She's been married now with kids to a seemingly good guy for a decade. We don't talk anymore but I still check her Facebook from time to time and I hope she's ok now.

Curiosities
Hey Pandas, What’s Something Really Stupid You Did As A Kid?
I was at our cabin in MT, about 10. I was bored so I poured some gas on the ground and lit it - poured more when it started to die out. (no idea how I did not blow up the place since the gas was being dripped from a 100 gallon tank) I currently melt glass in my microwave oven (1,550 degs F) - I am casting small items; I have not use for the items since staring at the molten glass at 1,550f is my joy. I started a project I call 'random acts of art' where I walk up to strangers and give them something I cast. I also take some of the items with me when I walk around town - I hide them where they will only be found by accident. There are some that will probably never get found (I have hung some on trees in the forest near the cabin)

Hey Pandas, What Was The Weirdest Thing You And Your Friends Have Done?
I think once this was mostly my friend but he tried burning mustard so he could make mustard gas.

Played "catch" with a friend.... with a metal tipped dart. It ended up stuck into my stomach. 🙄
